For flexibility, the TM-2 operates in three modes: manual, combined manual/CNC and full CNC. Additionally, a wide assortment of options are available, including a coolant system, a 10- or 20-pocket automatic tool changer, 4th-axis drive, chip pan extensions, a full table chip and coolant guard, and a hard-disk drive with Ethernet interface, among others
The TM-2 has travels of 40" x 16" x 16" (xyz). The larger table accommodates multiple vises and/or chucks, as well as 5C indexers and small rotary tables. The non-enclosed format and standard T-slots simplify clamping of oversized and odd-shaped parts. All axes feature brushless servo motors for precise positioning, and a one-piece cast-iron base/column damps vibration and provides rigidity for heavy cuts.
When making parts in small quantities, set-up is where much of your time is spent. Therefore, set-up accounts for the majority of your labor cost (not to mention the majority of your headaches).
The ProtoTRAK™ is productive because it drastically reduces the amount of time spent in set-up. It combines the simplicity and flexibility of manual machining with the capability of making arcs, diagonals and circles like CNCs, using the best of today's technology to save you time and liberate you from drudgery.
